I Went to this concert on a whim, and extremely glad I did… Yael has a joyful, playfullness to her music reminiscent of (dare I say it) Jeff Buckley on stage…

She played for 1 and a half hours, and her b-side material made me wonder how it didnt end up on the album - alot of it was extremely good. She also had the audience eating out of her hand - 300 people, and you could hear a pin drop from the silent reverence during ‘Lonely’. She even had audience sing parts of 2-3 of the songs, while she sang over the top. By the end of the night there was surely a venue full of Yael converts… while her album is great, it doesnt do her justice when compared to her live performance.

She has an amazing voice, and plays piano, guitar, & ukalele, and her band (including her writing partner David Donatien) work well together. They have a laid back groove which really works with their tracks. This was a very impressive performance for an new artistwith only a debut album under her belt - I’m looking forward to see what the future has in store for her!

this concert easily got into my top 5 shows of the year… so if your unsure - do yourself a favor - go and see her…

The measure of any good musician is not just their music, but in their performance, and in both respects, Jeff was pure music in motion. In memory of this, the blog below is dedicated to the pursuit of good music and its performance.

It doesnt have to be high art, it just has to speak from the heart.
